Hynobius ikioi, the amber-colored salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Hynobiidae, endemic to Kyushu in Japan.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
Physical characteristics
The amber-colored salamander is very close to Hynobius amakusaensis and Hynobius osumiensis, both also from Kyushu, but is easily distinguished from them by its uniquely bi-colored dorsum.
Taxonomy
This species was described in 2017 by Matsui, Nishikawa & Tominanga; it was previously thought to be a population of Hynobius stejnegeri.
